Nice Pants

I am so pleased with my new pants. All this week, I've been wearing pants that were in the bottom of my bureau to see if I liked any of them or if they were just in there waiting for me to shrink two inches. Every night I've come home and pulled the offending pants off and dump them into the "get out of my house" pile to donate.

This morning I looked at my other pants in the bureau waiting for me to test them out and couldn't go one more day with my bare ankles hanging out for all the world to see while all these new clothes went untouched. So I wore my new stretch twill jeans in a size 14 tall (so many 14 talls in my new clothing selections) and I've been in Pants Heaven all day!

If anything they're a smidge too long. We'll see if they shrink in the wash. Would you believe this is with my legs crossed?! No ankles to be seen here!

Now just to start wearing those long-sleeved shirts that cover my wrists. I may be unbearable at that point.

Make these clothes go away!

Anybody have need for size 14 pants/jeans or size large long sleeve shirts? I've got a ton that are not making the cut this year. If you're under 6 feet tall, you'll be very happy with them, but the jeans I have on now look ridiculous on me because you can see not only my ankles but a good three inches up my calves when I sit down. The shirt sleeves are the same deal in that they're not quite long enough so they drive me crazy. They've got to go. I'll put them on FreeCycle in a few days if no one is interested, but figured I'd give my peeps first dibs.

Best Popcorn Ever

The Puddin' has always been a popcorn master. He makes it from the kernals in a special "popcorn pot" on the stove. No microwave popcorn for us, nosiree. But tonight, I think he really outdid himself. One of the many ways in which I would be lost without him.
